The Eight Essentials of Restorative Yoga
How to Maximize Your Potential as a Yoga Teacher
Kawai Purapura • 150H Advanced Yoga Teacher Training • Specialised Module “Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga” • Led by Sanyassi Pragyadhara and Swami Karma Karuna
150 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training “Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga”: 5 day immersion 11-16 February, followed by three weekends 21-23 February, 13-15 March, 20-22 March 2020
The training is held at Kawai Purapura Retreat Centre, Auckland.
Costs for the 150 hour module: $2295 early bird price (before 16 December 2019), $2595 full course fee.
Discounted price for both advanced teacher training modules: NZ$ 3990 (save $300) if enroling before 1 January 2020
All details here.
Prerequisite for the 150 hours is the completion of a foundational 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. The 5 day immersion (11-16 February 2020) can be joined without pre-requisite (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider).
In times where so many people become yoga teachers, it’s time to find your uniqueness. This 150 Advanced module is for yoga teachers who would like to expand their teaching skills and become specialists in their field. We will concentrate on three areas in the training: 1) Yoga Nidra, 2) Restorative Yoga and 3) Basic Breathing Methods. All these practices reduce stress and anxiety, and engender feelings of relaxation and calmness. Yoga Nidra is a state of being in which the mind lets go of the external world and turns inward to reflect upon itself. It is a state of deep peace, clarity and acceptance. Yoga Nidra is a specific practice that gradually trains the mind to be able to reach that tranquil space effortlessly. A simple series of restorative postures performed in such a way as to liberate and promote the free flow of gross and subtle movement; Gross movement related to the joints, organs and tissues and subtle movement related to the energetic network / Prana. Working actively with this principle of movement activates the inherent healing and regenerative power. Basic breathing methods encourage optimal breathing patterns and correct poor breathing habits that may either depress or agitate the nervous system, mind and emotions. Basic breathing methods form one of the essential stages of Yoga Nidra and are effective tools for inducing calmness and clarity in any given situation.
This training will provide you with new tools to take onto your own practice, teaching and into everyday life.

60Hr Direct Realization Tantra Yoga Teacher Training • Led by Kara-Leah Grant
January 12 – 17th, 2020, Ohakune, $2395 (early bird available).
This Direct Realization Tantra (Kashmir Shaivism) training is for yoga practitioners ready to deepen their practice, and yoga teachers ready to expand their teaching.
The teaching will focus on: Upāya: The Skilful Means to Liberation and will include:
* View teachings
* Philosophical teachings
* Practice teachings
* Transmission teachings
We’ll be paying particular attention to The Empowered Means, which is centered in heart-mind/energy and on shedding mental constructs (aśuddha-vikalpas) that are not in alignment with reality. In essence it’s about dissolved the false constructs that prevent us from engaging directly with reality. Students will learn how to work directly with heart-mind/energy through the power of Knowing and the process of cognition.
Through a combination of deep practice, reflection, inquiry, de-briefing and checking in, each student will have the opportunity to clearly see the aśuddha-vikalpas running in their system, and using Tantric tools & technologies, learn how to identify these false constructs, disarm them, and uninstall them.
Engagement with this process eventually leads to immediate intuitive apprehension of Reality without the intervention of thinking mind.
